This Global Voices post gives the Palestinian Arabic-language perspective on Israel's 60th anniversary celebrations. Several bloggers with different viewpoints are sourced, making the article fairly balanced. (disclaimer: I write for Global Voices)

Moussa Bashir's coverage of the Lebanese Army's crackdown on civil rights and media is well-informed and gives a fair perspective on the civil strife in Lebanon right now. This is also a story that unlikely to be picked up by major news sources.

Gilad Lotan presents a view from the Israeli blogosphere (with incredible photos and video) on the recent attack on the Ashkelon Mall.

Trudy Rubin's article favoring a two-state solution makes perfect sense - particularly the approach from the side of demography (a very logical explanation)

Moussa Bashir's roundup of blogs from Lebanon presents a fair account of what's going on with workers in that country. An interesting read, and a well-presented story.

This story gives another perspective on Palestinian refugees, one that is rarely mentioned by mainstream media. Additionally, the story mentions a little-discussed fact, that of the history of Palestinians in South America.

A great article about a wonderful young citizen journalist!
